Description

Throughout the animal kingdom, creatures great and small have developed amazing abilities. In this interactive show from Braintastic! Science, you will be challenged to complete tasks that have been used in real life to test the intelligence of a range of animals. They will need to use their creativity to solve tricky logic puzzles normally completed by chimps, parrots and even dolphins. By exploring the range of abilities held by our nearest cousins, and those much farther from us on the evolutionary tree, we will throw light on the difficulties of defining intelligence. We will explore what that means for us as humans, and the importance of neurodiversity. The audience will leave with a new-found respect for the wonder of life on earth, and an understanding of the importance of diversities of thinking styles for society.
